About me

Welcome! I’m Dr. Sarkis Baghdasarian, a cardiologist dedicated to providing you with high-quality care rooted in compassion and collaboration. My allegiance is to you, and I believe we’re a team, making decisions together to optimize your health. I’m honored to guide you on this journey and look forward to partnering with you!

 

Biography

 

I’m a board-certified cardiologist with over 2 decades of experience in cardiovascular medicine. My journey began at the American University of Beirut, where I earned my MD with honors in 1999, followed by rigorous training at esteemed institutions like the Cleveland Clinic and the University of Connecticut. I’m fluent in Arabic and Armenian and am certified to provide care in both languages, reflecting my roots and dedication to diverse communities. My career has included impactful leadership roles, such as serving as chief of Cardiology at Kaiser Permanente in Fresno during my tenure there from 2012 to 2019. I’ve also held positions like director of Nuclear Cardiology at Deborah Heart and Lung Center in New Jersey and currently practice with Southern California Permanente Medical Group in Panorama City. Additionally, I served as an assistant clinical professor at UCSF Fresno, earning multiple Teacher of the Year awards for my passion for education and patient empowerment. Honors like the Everyday Heroes Award from Kaiser Permanente in Fresno in 2014 and membership in the Alpha Omega Alpha medical society underscore my commitment to excellence.

 

About my practice

 

My practice is built on the belief that every member deserves high-quality care that is also deeply personal. Specializing in cardiovascular medicine, I bring advanced expertise in nuclear cardiology, echocardiography, and vascular medicine to address your needs. With experience across medical groups like Kaiser Permanente and Central California Faculty Medical Group, I’ve honed an approach that prioritizes teamwork and shared decision-making. You’re not just a patient — you’re a partner in your care. My goal is to listen, educate, and collaborate with you, ensuring decisions align with your values and lead to positive outcomes. Your health is my unwavering priority.

 

How I thrive

 

To provide high-quality care, I believe in nurturing my own well-being. I thrive by embracing an active lifestyle — hiking through nature’s trails keeps me energized and grounded. I’m also mindful of my diet, choosing nourishment that sustains both body and mind. For the past 2 years, I’ve been studying Spanish, expanding my ability to connect with and serve an even broader community. These habits recharge me, allowing me to bring clarity, focus, and enthusiasm to my work. Whether I’m exploring a mountain path or advancing my language skills, I’m committed to living fully so I can serve members with the dedication and vitality they deserve.
